Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the tortellini according to the package instructions. Drain and reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water. Set aside.
While the tortellini cooks, prepare the vegetables. Thinly slice the onion, shred the cabbage, and slice the mushrooms. Mince the garlic cloves.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the sliced onion and a pinch of salt. SautΓ© for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions begin to caramelize.
Add the shredded cabbage to the skillet and cook for another 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage softens and starts to lightly brown.
Push the cabbage and onions to one side of the skillet. Add 1 more tablespoon of olive oil and then the sliced mushrooms. Cook for 4-5 minutes, letting the mushrooms release their moisture and brown lightly.
Stir in the minced garlic and fresh thyme. Cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the cooked tortellini to the skillet along with 1/2 cup of reserved pasta water and 2 tablespoons of butter. Toss everything together to coat the tortellini in the flavorful mixture. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Remove from heat and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top. Toss to combine, ensuring even distribution of the cheese.
Garnish with chopped parsley before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
